Modern opengl text rendering

A simple package for rendering a string using modern opengl. Based on the bounding box of a string, positioning of the string on screen prior to rendering is possible. There do seem to be issues with the dimensions reported by freetype-go unfortunately.

  • Unicode support.
  • Dynamic text zooming along the z-axis.
  • Dynamic text positioning within the orthographic projection space.
  • Dynamic color changes.

Unicode support is based on the underlying truetype font being used (or bitmap).
